Bill Nighy

So therefore I was paralyzed because there was no chance of that.

I once danced on a film and they told me to do it.

And it was a day when I could really dance.

And I really, really danced.

And I thought I finally cracked it on a film where I've danced to my own satisfaction.

And then the director said,

Yeah, great.

I think we should film one.

And we filmed one, but it was, you know, I've only got one of those in me a day.

You know what I mean?

I can't do those twice, not to the same tune.

And I was so, I was devastated by it.

And what do we do with the less blessed?

You're not less blessed.

You know, you don't have to be, I'm not Baryshnikov or, you know, Gregory Hines.

I'm just an enthusiast.

But I do feel that on a good day I can dance.

I didn't used to dance for a long, long time because I got chronically self-conscious.

And also when you're on television a bit, you feel like when you hit the dance floor, people are going to think, come on then, show us what you can do, you know, because you're supposed to be an actor and all that stuff.

And I became frozen by it.
